Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please edit your question to add a little more detail? How is the camera connected to the computer in question? Via USB? Or is it built into the laptop case? If via USB, what's the camera model and the output oflsusb(with the camera connected)? If internal, what's the laptop model?

I bumped into your post facing the same issue.
After some research and testing I found this project addressing the many issues running Ubuntu on the Surface series: https://github.com/jakeday/linux-surface
Please note that Ubuntu does not allow unsigned kernels to be loaded. You can sign the kernel yourself, the instructions are in the corresponding read-me file.
Regarding your question about the webcam, it is not (yet) supported. I'd suggest to "watch" the project, so you will be notified when the webcam support will be released.
